Title: Cleaning rubber crumb play area ?
Post by: wpclean on June 16, 2014, 03:29:14 pm
I have been asked to quote for a large outdoor rubber crumb play area, could someone tell me the recomended cleaning method for this, as I mostly clean domestic property ?
Any advice greatly appreciated  ;D

Whilst we wait for Lee (the expert for soft pour cleans) to tell you, I'll chip in with my advice..

Get a decent FSC, a barrell of hypo, some sprayers and a pressure washer. Treat it all with hypo first, wash it with the FSC, then rinse.  :)

I was thinking of using the fsc, just wasn't sure if it would be too harsh, but thanks for the advice  ;D

Sorry to resurrect, but got one of these coming up...

Any best practises on these kinds of surface?

I used a flat surface cleaner using 15 lpm, and a lance, but it was slow going, and because the surface was so dirty it took forever to get rid of the lines the fsc left behind.      I think it would be easier with two people doing the cleaning, one using the fsc, and the other rinsing off following you.

You need to use hypo if they are bad.

Now you're taking the $$$$.
I'll give you £1000 if you film this method and it clearly shows it working cleaning wet pour to a high standard.

I never lie!  Everything I say on here is based on experience of actually doing the work not reading about it!  I don't have any film of us doing it but the last one we did was for the designer of the Range Rover in his house that he personally designed.  His gym was around 60M2.  It was absolutely filthy and it came up immaculate using a Klindex Rocky fitted with a soft to medium brush, pH Neutral Cleaner in the tank and then vacced straight off with a wet vac , then rinsed and vacced again.

That is a fact!

A week Tuesday (14th October) I am up in the Wigan area demonstrrating the Klindex UFO and the Klindex Waterfire ( your neck of the woods I believe.)  If you find me some rubber crumb matting I will clean it in front of you PERSONALLY!

When I have done it you can keep your £1K as well :o
